Answer:

x = 3, y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since y=y

then, -3x +7 = 2x-8

7+8 = 3x+2x

15 = 5x

x=3

substitute

y = 2(3) - 8

y = -2

Hope that helped!!! k

Answer:

y = -2

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve using elimination

1. Rearrange the equations to make it easier to solve

y = -3x + 7 → 3x + y = 7

y = 2x - 8 → 2x - y = 8

2. Multiply the equations to have a matching coefficient

2(3x + y = 7) = 6x + 2y = 14

3(2x - y = 8) = 6x - 3y = 24

3. Subtract

6x + 2y = 14

0 + 5y = -10

4. Solve for y

5y = -10

y = -2

5. Substitute y in any equation to solve for x

-2 = -3x + 7

-3x = -9

x = 3

Answer:

$\mathrm{The\:solutions\:to\:the\:quadratic\:equation\:are:}$

$x=3,\:x=-\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

considering the equation

$2x^2\:-\:4x\:-\:3\:=\:x$

solving

$2x^2\:-\:4x\:-\:3\:=\:x$

$2x^2-4x-3-x=x-x$

$2x^2-5x-3=0$

$\mathrm{For\:a\:quadratic\:equation\:of\:the\:form\:}ax^2+bx+c=0\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}$

$x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$\mathrm{For\:}\quad a=2,\:b=-5,\:c=-3:\quad x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-\left(-5\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-5\right)^2-4\cdot \:2\left(-3\right)}}{2\cdot \:2}$

solving

$x=\frac{-\left(-5\right)+\sqrt{\left(-5\right)^2-4\cdot \:2\left(-3\right)}}{2\cdot \:2}$

$x=\frac{5+\sqrt{\left(-5\right)^2+4\cdot \:2\cdot \:3}}{2\cdot \:2}$

$x=\frac{5+\sqrt{49}}{2\cdot \:2}$

$x=\frac{5+7}{4}$

$x=3$

also solving

$x=\frac{-\left(-5\right)-\sqrt{\left(-5\right)^2-4\cdot \:2\left(-3\right)}}{2\cdot \:2}$

$x=\frac{5-\sqrt{\left(-5\right)^2+4\cdot \:2\cdot \:3}}{2\cdot \:2}$

$x=\frac{5-\sqrt{49}}{4}$

$x=-\frac{2}{4}$

$x=-\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore,

$\mathrm{The\:solutions\:to\:the\:quadratic\:equation\:are:}$

$x=3,\:x=-\frac{1}{2}$

Winona’s bowling scores for the past nine weeks are 195, 180, 195, 212, 208, 231, 179, 246, and 195. Find the mean, median, and

belka [17]

Answer: Mean = 204.6 , Median = 195 and mode =195

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data for Winona’s bowling scores for the past nine weeks : 195, 180, 195, 212, 208, 231, 179, 246, 195.

The formula to find Mean is given by :-

$\text{Mean}=\dfrac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Number of observations}}\\\\=\dfrac{1841}{9}=204.555555556\approx204.6$

For median , first we arrange data values in order as

179, 180, 195, 195, 195, 208, 212, 231, 246

Since the number of data values is 9 (odd).

∴ Median = Middle most data value = 195

Also, Mode = Most occurring data value = 195
